HORTICULTURE 



867 



terially curtailed, and the present im- 

 proved demand for flowers would 

 necessarily decline. No real florist 

 would want this to happen — it would 

 be a calamity. To prevent it, and to 

 enable the committees to fully carry 

 out their plans, there should be an end 

 to latent interest, and the many hun- 

 dreds of florists — we could say 

 thousands -who know in their hearts 

 that the campaign is of immense bene- 

 fit to our industry should lose no time 

 in registering their subscriptions with 

 the secretary. Making a subscription 

 entails no sacrifice, for there is hardly 

 a florist in the country who cannot af- 

 ford one, and it should be considered a 

 duty and a pleasure to support an un- 

 dertaking which is productive of so 

 much good to growers and retailers 

 alike. 



Florists who advertise locally can 

 have material assistance in their work, 

 and connect in a profitable way with 

 our magazine advertising, by using 

 the various helps supplied by our Pro- 

 motion Bureau. Pamphlets describing 

 these aids will be mailed to anyone 

 on application for them. It might be 

 mentioned here that the advanced cost 

 of labor and materials have obliged 

 our Promotion Bureau to advance the 

 price of the large electrotyped adver- 

 tisements to $1.25 each, which is actual 

 cost on quantity purchases. 



A CORRECTION. 



Two weeks ago we published a list 

 of florists whose subscriptions of $200 

 or more each aggregated one-seventh 

 of the Publicity Fund as then collect- 

 ed. We gave the list as of 25 florists, 

 but only 24 names were printed, the 

 name of Schiller The Florist, Chicago, 

 $200, being accidentally omitted. An- 

 other name omitted was that of The 

 Jos H. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind., $200, 

 which would have made 26 names to 

 the list instead of 25. The correction 

 is made with due apology for the omis- 

 sions. John Young, Secy. 



THE MARKET. 



Mums are a very heavy factor In the 

 market and while they sell well have 

 a certain depressing effect on other 

 stock. Almost every city has a num- 

 ber of good "mum" growers who are 

 unloading large quantities of flowers 

 just now. In New York and in mar- 

 kets further South, much outdoor 

 stock is still being offered. 



Some snapdragons and violets are 

 coming in and meeting with favor. Ap- 

 parently Bouvardia is once more in- 

 creasing in popularity, as it is being 

 widely displayed by the retail stores. 

 Paper whites made their first appear- 

 ance in the Boston market a few days 

 ago, being handled by William Carr.
